Dangerously Close is a collection of short stories that takes you on a journey into a world of the strange and the unexplainable. These stories had accumulated over the years and while I was in my MFA program. They all fall under the fabulism/magical and mystery/suspense genres. So you will come across weirdness. 

I will be posting new stories here and there. If you enjoy them, please leave a vote and/or comment. I would really appreciate it.

[ U N E D I T E D V E R S I O N] ''We're running out of time! And you want me to leave you behind?....'' The soft silence engulfed the forest not a bird sang the howling winds came to a stop. ''No one is getting left behind not here not now understod?'' The male sheethed his blade and walked off leaving the pair to themselves. The silver haired male gently hugged the female who hugged back heart thundering in her chest. "Thank you..." For Lunettea trust is hard. Betrayed by the very people called family from the moment she was born. Nothing but an ordinary, highly trained teenage assassin. Well some what ordinary. What happens when fairy tales are real.

What happens when the fate of the new worlds rests in a single girls hands? And trusting two devilishly handsome men, who definitely aren't your average good looking people. They're out of this world. Will Lunettea be able to travel to these worlds and rediscover the meaning of passion, truth and love? Or will she loose herself trying to untangle this mystery? A/N: This book may contain sensitive and violent scenes readers be advised. This is an 18+ book. Not for the pure of heart. Or the easily scared.

You Know I'm No Good by galianogangster

Sequel to Love Is A Losing Game I could accelerate time so hours pass in minutes. I could slow time down, the world around me coming to a near halt at the blink of an eye. But I did not have the ability to go back in time and mend my mistakes. No, that is something that I had to face like everyone else. With sudden, lingering pangs of regret when I was reminded of what I'd done. With longing glances to the woman I knew needed space when I wanted nothing more than to be close to her. With stinging indents formed on my tongue from holding back everything I wanted to say. That's what everyone did, right? Wait until it's the right time to apologize, to explain my side of the story in the hope that she would understand at the very worst, forgive at the best. But even to someone who had all of the time in the world, it never felt like the right time. And, no matter how many times I imagined the conversation in my head, nothing I came up with sounded like the right thing to say.
